Program Descriptions:
 
ALAN'S EDITOR is a full screen ASCII text editor that turns the computer screen
into a notepad. It is suitable for writing source code, BATCH files (.bat), 
data  files, memos and other documents for printing or mergeing with other pro-
grams. Text typed on the screen can be copied, deleted or saved for future use. 

The major functions of word processing are well supported.  Editing is done
through the use of three types of command keys: Keypad keys for cursor move-
ments, Function keys for file I/O and manipulation, and Control keys for most
of the other editing and formatting functions.  


ALAN'S CALC is an easy to use spreadsheet program that allows you to enter num-
bers and  text on the screen, and define relationships between fields. Once
defined, numbers may be changed and the program will automatically recalculate
all of the relationships between the numbers linked by formulas.  It allows you
to ask those "WHAT IF" questions, and can be used for financial modelling, 
budget calculations, scientific calculations, and much more. 

The program supports all of the usual mathematical functions that you would ex-
pect in a program of this type, and it also boasts a very powerful feature that
allows you to link one or more spreadsheets together by importing values from 
other worksheets to use in calculations.

System requirements are: 128K, one double sided, double density disk drive, and
a printer.

The documentation for both programs guide you through the learning process with
a series of lessons, and is conveniently formatted for the printer as a user
manual.
